and you care, because...?

[asheshouse]

Anyone contemplating starting a Whirlwind model should, simply out of courtesy, contact the Oceanic Team to let them know their intentions and enquire about progress with their model. It is not in our interests to duplicate efforts if it can be avoided.

I made a similar enquiry before starting on Yorktown because I knew a previous model had been started. This confirmed that progress had stopped and also gained an offer of copies of useful reference material.

Wasn't there a Maryland WIP too? It would be a great one for BoF and Mediterranean.

okay, playing nice is a good idea. STILL.

I do not understand the unpleasantness pending in the air.
There is an incompatibility between
"everybody can do what they want" on one hand
and
"we will not have to deal with unpleasantnesses"  on the other hand.

Could it be that the factor that could potentially trigger "unleasentness" is the Human EGO?
make me laugh... a human ego stroked the wrong way should never, never ever be a factor to put into calculation when the goal is to deliver a product.

I am not saying the RAF662 guys have an ego.
I am trying to understand why one party should alert (get a green light mayhaps?!) the others in the case of a paralel project...
because it could piss someone off? Weird reason.

On the subject of the RAF662 group
We know Magpie and his bunch to be more laid-back than that!
If anything, they should be contacted to maybe share their vast (3 rebuilds of the model?) expertise!

The reason at least in my opinion is not because sbdy will get pissed off but

Il2 modding scene is quite active yes, but again it has a finite potential for producing a number of aircraft in a given amount of time. And from the modding scene even fewer are willing to make aircraft due to the complexity required.

So making double projects is a choice and I fully respect that, but it is a pretty inneffective way to proceed since he might have another idea to make that is not being worked on atm and provide a whole new aircraft instead of a different version.
Or better still if both sides are interested they could also cooperate and make an aircraft with more details/work in it.

Saying that if he still does not want to do that and just wants to make his own version it's his choice and I have no right to tell him what to do ofc.

we are not a factory. we dont have to make a certain amount of mods in a certain amount of time. everything modders make is made because modders like IL-2 and want to make it better. nobody HAS to do anything they dont want to. every new aircraft is made, simply for fun.

I delete my involvement in this hypothetical debate, but this is not a problem and probably never will be one. It is better we try to stick to the topic . I am sorry but my mother in law was buryed yesterday , so I am not quite in level.
However, I will salute any who will Mod any of these planes.
Regardless of any rule I prefer silence and peace, if simple courtesy can avoid any unpleasantness I am all for it, but in this site there are noone that in any way has exclusive rights to mod anything. I just dont get it why we have to fight over an nonexisting problem.

+1 to Beowulf's topic. He is right.

[redfox]

+1 to Beowulf's topic. He is right.

+1

And he quotes Rule No. 1 'let's just mod the hell out of the game, fly the hell out of the game...and above all, enjoy the hell out of the game.'

Cheers - Redfox

[Thunda]

Yep, I agree (no offense taken by the way, redfox!)

[Mono27]

I agree with the Boulton Paul Defiant. It would be nice to have that plane in il-2.
I think it would be very funny to fly and combat with it, it needs special tactics cause the lack of forward firing guns. You should trust in the gunner.

Anyway, I think it is a beautiful plane, and unfortunately, not very common in flight sims. That's the reason why it will be welcome in il-2.

+1 for firefly! Currently the Fleet air arm is lacking in late war home built planes. The firefly played a huge role during the ffa participation in the korean war and would make a great addition. The barracuda would also be a nice addition giving the fleet air arm a true torpedo attack plane.
